The latest Marvel MCU movie is here with Ant-Man And The Wasp. Seth and Crazy Train give a near 60 minute discussion (including SPOILERS) about the film, and where it fits in the Infinity War story. The review begins at about 25:30.

The first part of the show talks news, including the rumor that Keri Russell may be joining the cast of Star Wars Episode IX. What kind of part will she be playing? Somebody is going to be Rey’s parents sooner or later…

In the Marvel world, Kevin Feige has announced that there will be three Marvel MCU movies per year from now on.

It’s one of the reasons we’ve expanded to three films a year, is so that we could do the sequels to films that people have responded to — because we love to make continuing stories with characters people have responded to — but also keep doing the stuff that nobody’s ever heard of, and people go, ‘Why are you doing that?’ That’s fun.

News has also broken that in the next MCU Movie, Captain Marvel, Samuel L Jackson will be digitally de-aged for the entire movie.

All this and more in another fun-filled edition of Geekville Radio!

The Future Of Star Wars

Unless you’ve been living on Hoth for the last few weeks, you’ve probably heard about the poor performance of Solo at the box office. Rumors are now running rampant that future Star Wars spin-off movies may be shelved. Seth and Crazy Train look at the rumors and try to separate fact from fiction. Do we know the real story? How many movies does this consist of? And could they be adapted for other media instead? What about the TV show?

Also according to rumors, Kathleen Kennedy’s future at LucasFilm may be in jeopardy. Can we separate rumor from fact?

One of the reasons for the divisiveness in fans has been the depiction of Luke Skywalker. Is this what was planned during The Force Awakens? Or could Rian Johnson have taken a sudden left turn and change everything.

But wait, there’s more Star Wars news! Lando Calrissian himself, Billy Dee Williams, had to cancel an appearance at the Saskatchewan Entertainment Expo citing a filming schedule conflict. Could this add fuel to the speculation that he is Episode IX bound?

In Marvel movie news, Jared Leto has all but confirmed that he will be playing Morbius The Living Vampire in a future spin-off film. Will Spider-Man be part of the story?

Finally, the latest Marvel MCU movie opens this weekend. Get ready with our primer for Ant-Man And The Wasp with spoiler-free anticipation of where this movie fits with Infinity War.

A look at the music?

31:45 – Also in movie news, Entertainment Weekly noted in a recent article that advance ticket sales for Solo: A Star Wars Story have surpassed Black Panther. Could this be a mega-hit despite the controversy? Will it see the success that the Star Trek recasting has?
